It
is an ancient tradition that the Scots enlist to participate in foreign
wars. Used to dying in far and foreign lands, they don't fear death
while defending their own. The Caledonian Volunteers Territorial
Regiments Corps was created when it was perceived that the Separatist
Wars were more than a probability. Now it forms the core of the
Caledonian Army, collaborating jointly with the rest of the Ariadnian
military forces. As its name says, the Corps is formed by territorial or
clan units, indicating their origin between brackets in their
regimental device. Like many line regiments, the Volunteers have a
highly developed esprit de corps, believing themselves somewhat superior
to other troops.

Their men and women come from the most
diverse origins, including the most desperate and hopeless individuals
from the slum areas of the urban zones, hardened mining industry workers
and, as is common in the Caledonian regiments, a sizeable proportion of
clan thugs. Bearing that in mind, it is not surprising that they have a
reputation amongst the Caledonian people for being a bunch of
troublemakers. The combat slang of the Volunteers is a disjointed mix of
English and Gaelic, strongly flavoured with Russian expressions and
offensive words. Their daily mission is to fight in hundreds of wars and
frontier skirmishes for their country, in the most distant and freezing
regions of the planet. And all of this for a meagre salary and a tin of
camp rations - but this is the venerable tradition of the Caledonian
Volunteers Corps.
